aders who enjoy slow-burn romances. It includes vampires, witches, elemental magic and steamy scenes. Other tropes in the series include fated mates, past lives, kidnapping, a villain obsessed with the heroine, and forbidden love.

Mercy sacrificed her heart for the greater good. But love may be more powerful than her magic.

Mercy's plan was supposed to be simple: remove her feelings with a spell for Dorian and continue the mission-to destroy the vampires who held her prisoner. But not all spells are perfect, and love may be stronger than any magic conjured.

Meanwhile, Maurice has disregarded Mercy's warning, and his sick game of cat and mouse has only just begun. He's coming for her again and has no intention of stopping.

"The second volume of the Blood of the Chosen series was even more thrilling than expected. Mercy grows bolder and more powerful. An exciting, fast-paced paranormal romance that won't disappoint."

Laura M. Morales, editor of The Zorah Series
